Property was perfect for the price point (the price was amazing), but naturally, there are a few hiccups that come with that price level:
- it is certainly not a short walk from the beach! Excercise enthusiasts may disagree with me as we estimated it was about 2 miles before you hit sand (not the ocean, but dunes THEN ocean), so be prepared to load up and drive to a public access point (not a big deal, dauphin island public beaches are awesome!)
- the property definitely has some age to it. The main bedroom has shag carpet and is accompanied by a...musty? old? sour? smell. It isnt overbearing, and leaving the door open while out on the island got rid of most of it, but it was definitely still there. Everything was clean but the smell was strong. My assumption is that its just another "old house smell", as there are many of those present throughout the property. This sour smell was isolated to the main bedroom.
- the bedroom sleeps WARM. If you are a warm sleeper, you'll love this property, as even with the a/c set to 65, the main bedroom will not get cooler than about 72-74. This is with the door open or closed.
Other than those issues, everything worked perfectly. If you're looking to save a buck and don't mind a few tiny caveats, this property is awesome and very hassle free!!
